Correlation of Polar Lipid Composition with 16S rRNA Phylogeny in Methanogens. Further Analysis of Lipid Component Parts
TL;DR: Qualitative analyses of lipid component parts without separation of individual lipids were done for further 14 strains of methanogens and phenotypically supported the division of the order Methanomicrobiales into two new orders and the establishment of new families and genera.

Taxonomic Significance of the Distribution of Component Parts of Polar Ether Lipids in Methanogens
TL;DR: In this article, a determinative key of methanogens, only based on lipid component analysis, is proposed, which can become a new chemotaxonomic marker, which utilises more lipid-structureoriented information than a thin-layer chromatographic pattern.

A diphytanyl ether analog of phosphatidylserine from a methanogenic bacterium, Methanobrevibacter arboriphilus.
TL;DR: The hydrophobic portion of the lipid was identified as diphytanyl glycerol diether on the basis of the mass spectrum of the acetolysis product and gas-liquid chromatography of the iodinated alkyl chain prepared by hydroiodic acid cleavage of PNL2.

Structural analysis by reductive cleavage with LiAlH4 of an allyl ether choline-phospholipid, archaetidylcholine, from the hyperthermophilic methanoarchaeon Methanopyrus kandleri
TL;DR: The validity of the LiAlH4 method for the structural analysis of allyl ether phospholipid in archaea was confirmed in a study of the model compound synthetic unsaturated archaetidic acid (2,3-di-O-geranylgeranyl-sn-glycerol-1-phosphate).
Distribution of a Diphytanyl Ether Analog of Phosphatidylserine and an Ethanolamine-containing Tetraether Lipid in Methanogenic bacteria
TL;DR: Aminolipids were found to be widely distributed in methanogens and some of them were major components of the polar lipids, and it is suggested that the occurrence of these polarlipids be used for the grouping of methanogenic at the family level.
